Price Rise of Petrol
Condemned
The Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of
THE CPI(M)
strongly
condemns the increase in the price of petrol by Rs 3.14 per litre.
This
third increase in the price of petrol this year comes at a time when
inflation
is touching double digits and the people have no respite from the price
rise of
essential commodities. This callous move will only have a
cascading effect
on inflation and price rise.
The people of
the country
can see that the Congress-led government is itself responsible for
stoking
price rise and inflation by such measures. The Polit Bureau
of the
CPI(M) demands cancellation of this price rise and restoring the
administrative
regulation of pricing of petrol.
The Polit Bureau calls
upon all its party
units to mobilise the people to protest against this
step.
